Resources

This site is maintained as a volunteer effort, as are all GenWeb sites. The information included here is not meant to be the ultimate source for genealogical or historical information about Pickens County, but it is intended as a tool for your research efforts and an ‘electronic meeting place’ for those who may be researching the same families. The Site Administrators welcome suggestions for additional resources to be included in the site, especially if they come pre-formatted as HTML documents! Complaints and griping will be for the most part cheerfully ignored! —– Please do not ask for research to be done for you, as that is not one of the functions of the Site Administrators.

Besides the local resources that we have compiled and listed here for you, there is a wealth of information available in the Special Projects realm of the USGenWeb Project. Visit the Special Projects page to get links to the USGenWeb Archives and much more.
